Anti-Trump protesters gather in Coral Springs as part of large nationwide May Day movement against the sitting president
Coral Springs, Florida – A crowd of roughly 100 protesters gathered at the corner of University Drive and Sample Road on Thursday to make their voices heard as part of the national wave of May Day demonstrations. The protest in Coral Springs was one of more than 1,000 rallies reportedly held across the country, all aiming criticism at President Donald Trump and his policies.
The demonstration coincided with International Workers’ Day, commonly known as May Day, a date long recognized for labor rights protests and rallies around the world. In the United States, activists have used the day to spotlight a variety of issues, from workers’ rights to immigration reform. This year, however, many groups shifted their attention squarely onto Trump and what they describe as the country’s “billionaire takeover.”
Protesters in Coral Springs held signs with strong messages, including “Impeach the Felon Now” and “No Justice, No Peace,” echoing the sentiments of May Day organizers nationwide. The demonstration remained peaceful throughout, with Coral Springs police confirming that there were no arrests or disturbances during the event.
According to the May Day Strong website, which helped coordinate the national movement, this year’s demonstrations were designed to call out what they say is growing inequality and political corruption, focusing especially on Trump’s influence and legal troubles. The protests, held in cities large and small, attracted a wide range of participants — from union members to community activists and concerned citizens.

In Coral Springs, many who attended said they wanted to take a stand locally, even if the event was smaller than others across the country. The city’s protest may not have had massive crowds, but for those who showed up, it was a chance to be part of a larger voice demanding accountability.
As May Day continues to evolve in the United States, events like the one in Coral Springs show how grassroots organizing can bring people together around shared concerns — whether about politics, labor, or broader social justice issues.
